An independent, boutique Technology Assurance advisory firm.
Built to serve boards, executives and audit leaders operating in complex, regulated and rapidly transforming environments.
Mission
To help organisations build digital trust through independent Technology Assurance.
Vision
To be the UK's most trusted boutique voice on Technology Assurance, AI governance and cyber oversight.
Why HazelGRC Exists
Because the questions boards face on technology can no longer be answered by product vendors or scale providers alone.
Humphrey Okorie
Founder & Principal Consultant
Humphrey founded HazelGRC after more than two decades helping organisations strengthen governance, improve technology risk management and build confidence through independent assurance.
His work spans internal audit leadership, technology audit, cyber governance advisory and — increasingly — the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence in regulated and enterprise environments.
HazelGRC exists to bring that experience — technical grounding, governance perspective and executive fluency — directly to the boards and leadership teams who need it most.

Four values that shape every engagement
Integrity
Straightforward, evidence-based advice — always.
Independence
Free from vendor bias, product sales or implementation conflict.

A relentless standard of quality and executive-grade craft.
Practicality
Recommendations that work in the real world, at real pace.
How HazelGRC works
A deliberate operating model — designed to serve senior decision-makers with clarity, discretion and independence.
Advisory, not implementation
We advise. We do not sell technology or implement it. That is what makes our perspective independent.
Board and executive-first
Every engagement is written for the level of decision, not the level of detail.
Practitioner-led
Every conversation is with senior practitioners — never juniors on a training budget.
Boutique by design
Small, focused, discreet. Chosen for depth of thought, not scale of headcount.
